Only just realised that Squad 13 are basically a more-dysfunctional-than-usual Monster Hunter team, right down to the lancer being seriously OP.

02's smug loving face as she stole everyone's clothes made me laugh harder than anything else this season. I somehow didn't notice until they found the old team's photo that the boys' uniforms have a big Y on the front and the girls have a big X.

I wasn't convinced about the glasses girl being gay before but it seems like that really is where they're going with her. Nice, I hope they pull that off well. Also 02 was so loving cute in this episode, we're truly blessed. Its actually kind of odd just how wholesome her and Hiro's relationship has been so far. Wheres the stupid misunderstandings? Wheres the angst!? Hiro calling her a normal girl was fantastic. I actually hope they really are just a total power couple throughout the whole series, they're great together.

I like that the two DEFINITELY gay kids got paired up together. The smug dude's look of vague academic interest is so good.

I mean, it’s not implausible that Mitsuru’s gay, but I’m also not ruling out him reciprocating Kokoro’s interest (if not necessarily in the way she might hope). He did try to nick her ‘where do babies come from’ book, after all. Or he’s just bi. That’s an option.

A good episode. I can buy Mitsuru being gay as he basically had no reaction to the outfit dissolving goop (then again maybe he just has no affection for his partner). The goop in itself is weird though. Does prove the FranXX aren't airtight though, so I guess no underwater expeditions in the future. Nice to have confirmation from Dr FranXX that they are an experimental group, presumably to test out different methods of handling teams of Parasites to figure out if there are more efficient ways of handling them. It may also be the reason this team haven't been taught anything about how to handle emotions etc., perhaps it's been different for other teams. I'm kind of weirded out that APE decided the best thing to do after the original squad got wiped was to seal off the rooms with police tape instead of clean them for future use, though then again maybe that's part of the experiment too, to see the reaction when the kids inevitably break in and realise their own mortality. I'm wondering if any of them are going to read through the diaries that were left behind. It's also neat that 02 has been given a new pilot outfit to match the other girls as part of officially being a member of squad 13. I hope it's not too long before Hiro gives her a name. Bad rap in combat is a Trigger classic. Ro Ro Fite Da Powa.

Every episode I find new ways to ponder how these mechs were designed both from the standpoint of the show creators, and the in-universe perspective of Dr. Franxx. Today I wondered how the cockpits are sealed or rather, why they aren't sealed against the environment. The goop being able to seep into the cockpit area implies that there isn't a watertight seal once they close the face. That's a problem when you think about the threats Klaxorsaur can produce that this episode now introduces. I get that this was all an attempt to facilitate the episode's core drama, and it was a fun episode so pardon my overthinking things. . But the idea that a fairly viscous fluid seep into the cockpit tells me that both liquid and air based attacks would be effective against these robots. That aside; I'd caught up on the past episode and the tone shift took a moment to get used too but the lightheartedness of these episodes is nice. Plus there is still some crunch to the episodes which I like.

He has no reaction to almost everything. Including being around both boys and girls in swimsuits, and being around a bunch of buck rear end nekkid guys. He's a stoic person, and piloting with 02 is one of the few things to make him actual emote and react in general.

This show owns and the terrible rap also owns and there better be more of it. Favorite little thing this episode: Zorome and Miku sulking in their respective top bunks in the exact same pose. They’re a great pair. Also, I’m now totally convinced that the reason Mitsuru and glasses girl are paired up is they’re both homo.

There's serious design costs to making things airtight and watertight, since you then have to worry about things like life support and oxygen circulation within a closed system. Then the fact that these are combat robots designed to take seriously hard knocks(remember Strelizia getting jackhammered into a steel wall a billion times?) means that to waterproof the cockpits you not only have to make a functioning, closed-circuit life support system that will also not suffer failure or interruption when taking severe damage or else you suffocate your pilots. It's possible that Klaxosaurs simply haven't deployed liquid/gas based natural weaponry before so it's never been a major design concern. These robots are obviously playing fast and loose with science fantasy so the Mystery Science Theater 3000 intro applies here but it's not implausible that they just aren't airtight due to design economy.

Basically everyone and their partner is fairly similar in disposition and their reactions to things. Ikuno and Mitsuru are both rather cold and aloof but Ikuno broke her facade a little. That also might be because Mitsuru is still popping pain pills and still affected by his ride with 02.

It's possible that the seams/seals are made of the same material that the girl's suits are made of, therefore were eaten away by said viscous goop. You wouldn't want to make the joints and seams out of the same material that your defensive plating is made of. You'd end up like a stiff statue or causing significant wear from two armor plates rubbing against each other.

Lurking Haro posted:So what Franxx would Hiro and Naomi have used hadn't they failed the tests? Is there a spare lying around or did it fall into the same plothole as Naomi? I think Naomi is straight up dead, considering the last time we saw her was in a vision that a main character had while at death's door. "She got taken to the hospital". Last time we saw someone in serious medical condition was Mitsuru and he was still in the birdcage visible to the other kids.

To be fair, Mitsuru was still a pilot while Naomi was being shipped away even before she was hurt so there's no reason she'd recuperate in the same place. She's almost certainly dead, but I wouldn't go taking that as any real proof. Even the vision thing could be explained as her being a projection of Hiro’s consciousness if the writers wanted.

And since you bring it up, these mechs really are insanely durable because that piston action Strelizia took was pretty brutal yet the overall damage didn't look that bad. Despite getting slammed for maybe a couple minutes, I only remember seeing scuff marks. And since I'm in the business of thinking how people in-universe think; I give my props to Dr. Franxx for designing a mech that can take that hard a pounding with their back against the wall and still get back up and return it in kind. I know this was a super robot-style series from the first episode when Strelizia transformed. I just like to nitpicking how these things operate.

It would actually be in character for APE to lie to this particular group about the fate of another pilot, given they've apparently withheld the fates of all pilots from them as part of the experiment but seem more forthcoming with everyone else.

As far as the water-tightness of the mecha, we should also consider that the liquid was clearly some kind of acid, and it's got to be possible that the girls' combat suits are made of the same or similar material as the mecha faceplates, so the stuff just ate a hole into the mecha and then dropped onto the suits which started to melt too.

Come to think of it, the beach episode is also unexpectedly light on fanservice as well; you had a couple of shots at the beginning and then the rest of the episode was character development without any real focus on them being in swimsuits. Studio A-1 hooking everyone with the up front BEEP BEEP IT'S ABOUT SEX to rope people in to watching their wholesome show about children growing up and learning about relationships.

Also, I'm glad Goro has gotten out of just being on the sidelines with group interactions over the past three episodes and Futoshi is quickly becoming the most endearing member of the show for me. He's so straightforward with his feelings towards Kokoro, just a stone faced delivery of "I looked because you're amazingly beautiful". doomisland posted:The comment about having to clean the bathroom while the food and laundry just get done by unseen maids was curious.
